LG Optimus F7 to launch on Boost Mobile starting June 27

As rumored in the past, Boost Mobile will start carrying the LG Optimus F7 starting June 27. The device, which features LTE connectivity, will cost $299 on a 2-year contract, and bring along a few mid-range specs with it. The LG Optimus F7 has a 1280 x 720p 4.5-inch display, a Snapdragon S4 Plus Dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, as well as 8GB storage. On the camera side of things, the Optimus F7 features a 8MP back facing camera and a 1.3MP front facing camera.

The device will ship running Android 4.1 with LG’s custom UI on top of it. One cool feature about subscribing to Boost Mobile is their Shrinking Payments feature, which lowers your $55 unlimited plan by $5 every six on-time monthly payments. This can eventually bring your bill down to $40 per month, which is a great money saving option.

The LG Optimus F7 is the latest 4G LTE addition to Boost Mobile’s growing lineup of smartphones. The smartphone is loaded with Android 4.1 Jellybean operating system and features designed to help users create and share content like never before. QSlide 2.0 allows users to overlay up to two application windows on an existing open application, adjusting size and transparency as needed for greater multitasking functionality.

Exclusive to LG and available on the Optimus F7 are innovative features that enhance the user experience. With VuTalk, the LG Optimus F7 lets users brainstorm with friends and colleagues, sharing fun and productive notes and images visually with each other in real time between compatible devices. Collaborative creations are then automatically saved in the Notebook app for later use. QuickMemo lets consumers take screenshots and add personalized notes, drawings and messages, then share them via social media, text or email – perfect for a spur-of-the-moment thought or just to add some fun commentary to photos or screenshots. For example, pull up a map and with the swipe of a finger, circle the meeting spot, write in the meeting time and immediately share it with friends so everyone knows exactly where and when to meet. The Optimus F7 also features a dedicated QuickMemo button on the side of the phone to quickly pull up the feature and begin capturing and sharing notes.
